Types of Work Prohibited for Children

Child labor laws prohibit certain types of work to protect children from exploitation and harmful conditions. This includes jobs that are dangerous, such as those involving heavy machinery, toxic substances, or extreme temperatures. Additionally, children cannot work during school hours, and limited hours are set for work outside of school. Jobs that are considered too demanding, physically exhausting, or harmful to a child's health, education, or development are also prohibited. These laws aim to ensure that children have the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe environment.
